Murder Charges Filed Against Mission Victim’s Housemate

Murder charges have been filed against a Mission man for the shooting death of Maurice White, a 28-year-old found dead early Monday morning near the corner of Bartlett and 21st streets, said Stephanie Ong Stillman, spokeswoman for the district attorney’s office.

Vincent Jacobo, 56, will be formally charged at his arraignment on Oct. 21, said Stillman. Jacobo will also faces charges for being a felon in possession of a firearm. He is being held without possibility of bail.

Jacobo was a friend of White’s family, and the two lived in the same apartment on Valencia Street, just a few blocks from where White died. The two didn’t always get along, and a few months ago White punched Jacobo, said Maria Herrera, White’s grandmother who also lives in the unit.
